Last weekend, activists around the world took part in the seventh annual 'Ban Live Exports':  International awareness day.  The date of June 14th was chosen to mark the live export tragedy that occured on the same day in 2015 when 13,000 sheep tragically lost their lives due to dehydration, starvation, and exhaustion during a long sea journey from Romania to Somalia.     Compassion in World Farming is a 501c3 nonprofit working internationally for the welfare of farmed animals. Compassion advocates on behalf of all areas that are detrimentally impacted by factory farming, including animals, the environment, public health,  and community and workers' justice.  WWW.CIWF.COM - to donate.  US Executive Director Ben Williamson wrote this article.
